Phantom Hollow as the land relinquished her ghost

The figure bathed in ebony was undoubtedly his sibling - though, during his absence, she had changed. Grown. Inevitable it was, but even so, it was peculiar to be looking at one he'd spent so much time with in the womb, somehow a stranger, abnormal to witness where their own paths had led. Her expressions were locked away, emotions chained inside where none could touch them; so it occured to the silencer that they were not all that different. 

"I do not abandon without reason." came his rumbling baritones, voice a steel-born sweep of tenebrosity. His presence within the clan was needed now more than ever, when Nyx and Damien's offspring would arrive in their den and the territory they claimed was in need of extra defense. He had little reason to leave, so leave he would not.
